Kinetics of antibody response to Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever): Estimation of the seroresponse onset from antibody levels

Background: From 2007 to 2009, the Netherlands experienced a major Q fever epidemic.Long-term serological follow-up of acute Q fever patients enabled the investigation of longitudinal antibody responses and estimating the onset of the seroresponse in individual patients.Methods: All available IgG and IgM phase I and II antibody measurements determi

Utilizing Bayesian inference in accelerated testing models under constant stress via ordered ranked set sampling and hybrid censoring with practical validation

Abstract This research investigates the application of the ordered ranked set sampling (ORSSA) procedure Air Beds in constant-stress partially accelerated life-testing (CSPALTE).The study adopts the assumption that the lifespan of a specific item under operational stress follows a half-logistic probability distribution.Through Bayesian estimation m
